25. In addition, Reps Angie Craig & Dean Phillips

Sep 2019

who represent Minnesota CDs 2 & 3 also came around to the idea of impeachment today.

Both are moderate Dems who were elected from swing districts. Craig's district is pretty much split between suburban & rural areas while Dean represents a district that hadn't elected a Democrat since at least 1961.

And Christine Pelosi (the Speaker's daughter) has put out a tweet with a link to the article referenced in the OP. I wouldn't think she'd do this without her mother knowing (though I could be wrong).

Link to tweet

I think the dam has broken.
